Ramp up the party in your car

Pioneer's DEH-X3500UI is the first CD receiver in their lineup with MIXTRAX technology. Turn on MIXTRAX, and you'll get a DJ-inspired audio/video experience with the music stored on your iPod®, iPhone®, or other USB device. You'll enjoy seamless musical transitions with cool effects, as the receiver's illumination pulses with the beat of your tunes.

Pioneer increased the size of their dot-matrix display, so you can see all system information with a quick glance. You can also adjust the display and control colors of this receiver separately, with thousands of possible combinations on tap.

Play your music and streaming sources, too

Plug your iPod into the USB input, and you can use the Pioneer's controls to run the show. Once connected, the receiver bypasses your iPod's built-in digital-to-analog converter, using its own high-quality DAC to deliver your music with the highest fidelity possible. You'll also be able to take charge of your Pandora® Internet radio stations from the receiver, including the ability to give a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down." Of course, the DEH-X3500UI plays all your CDs, including those loaded with MP3 and WMA files.

Pioneer means great sound

The built-in amp at the heart of this receiver delivers plenty of power for strong sound. You'll also find an impressive collection of soundshaping controls. The 5-band equalizer lets you adjust the sound to your car's interior, while the Advanced Sound Retriever reverses the compression process to give you more high-frequency sparkle and musical detail from your digital audio files. You'll also find the high- and low-pass filters handy if you're building a system with amps and subs.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?

In most vehicles you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

I bought my 2001 Civic DX this May, and it came with an old Clarion DB225 set. Wanting front AUX and USB input, I the replaced it with the DEH-X3500UI. The installation was easy, I just needed to solder the wires colour to colour.

It sounds amazing. I have yet to try CD, but playing music with the USB connection from my iPod Nano blows my mind. The speakers now provides much more clarity, and the bass kicks in quite hard without buzz. I am still using stock speakers without subwoofers. I do not plan on adding a sub because I do not want extra weight on my car, and it already giving me a lot of bass.

In settings, I am given a lot of options regarding Audio characteristics. It came with 2 customizable EQ, and 5 pre-set EQs. So you can have a lot of fun adjusting to find the perfect sound that fit your speakers. This dock also provides a lot of display/button colour options. And yes, the display and the buttons can be of different colours. My advice is to set the colour right when you're driving your special someone with a favourite colour. Trust me, there are many options, you can even manually change the code of the colour to fine tune it.

The deck also came with a remote, if you're into that, but I've been using the keys so far. The volume know feels a little slippery when my finger is dry, so I sometimes need to turn it with two fingers. But the overall controls is quite easy to pick up, you'll soon be able to browse through your iPod collection with this set.

Cons:iPod control is a little difficult when you're driving a manual transmission, drinking coffee and trying to change songs
AUX lacks sound quality compared to USB, so I recommend having an iPod with USB connection

Wonderful Receiver

The receiver works great. Installation was a breeze (after figuring out how to wire in the PAC SOEM-4 adapter for the monsoon system). The sound quality is amazing, and it looks great. The menu is a little complicated at first, but has plenty of customization options.

Pioneer DEH-X3500UI

I bought this stereo to replace an inferior aftermarket stereo. I have purchased Pioneer in the past and have never been disappointed. This stereo still leaves me with that feeling. Great stereo, especially for the money.

Pros:Ease of installation and always a great pioneer product

Cons:After installing this I was getting really distorted sound out of my rear speakers. Turned out being a submenu on the stereo that I just had to change the settings. Thanks Crutchfield support.

Glad I bought it

This is for the 2002 Honda CR-V. I bought this a couple of weeks ago and installed it myself. The instructions were pretty easy from Crutchfield. I played around with it and through Pioneer's FAQ was able to set the clock and the colors I wanted. The one quibble I have is using the head unit. When in iPod mode, I can't figure out how to change from one playlist to the next on the fly. I haven't tried the CD player, but I imagine it's standard as any other player. The best thing is it plays mp3s unlike my stock unit. Now I have can have hours of music when traveling, especially to San Diego.

DEH-X3500UI

For the price, this was a great value. I have installed a lot of car stereos and this unit thus far is the best bargain out there. You get pioneer 4x22 at normal listening levels and fifty at peak, besides it has this cool light show in the Mix trax mode. I had a old Kenwood sw1 powered sub and connected it after sitting years in my garage what a sound, it makes coupled with this head unit a sound rivaled by more expensive units.

Pros:blends in with any dash color

Cons:unit trim made very cheap could have been a little bit more sturdy

Buy it..

I was searching for a head unit that included lots of features without braking the bank! I highly recommend this unit.,. Great features, awesome sound, priced right, free and fast delivery!!

Thanks Crutchfield!

Pros:User friendly, mounts in a snap, cool lights. If you have questions chat with the folks at Crutchfield they are always ahead of the game, a must if you want to get it right the first time and something you don't get at the big box store..

Cons:Wish it has USB ports in the rear so I could drop my I pod in the globe box..

Love it

Ordered the radio on the 15, got it on the 18th, and put it in today. The installation wasn't too bad, even though I did receive the wrong wiring harness. It wasn't a big deal though, and with a little improvisation it was all hooked up and ready to go. I love the illumination, and the USB/Aux hookups are a major plus for me. Looks great, works great. I have to say I'm very pleased.

Pioneer at it's best

I have always trusted Pioneer Electronics for my home for over 20 years, why not trust it for my SUV? I installed this stereo alongside Boston Acoustics G110PD and Kicker 11ZX300.1 and it sure sounds a lot better than the factory electronics I had in there before. I had this installed in 45 minutes, without any problems thanks to Crutchfield's expertise in compatability. If you are tired of your factory stereo, or just needing to upgrade your old one, you really can't go wrong with this model.

Pros:Multi-Illumination display, ease of use menus, price and durability.

SO! Happy!!!

I was looking for a new stereo for my Toyota tacoma 07, I didn't know what I was looking for..but with the help of a friend who told me about crutchfield, I was able to find what I was looking for...All the options were there when you search for products.That totally helped!!! I wanted something that I could connect my phone/ipod. Also I wanted something that could light up in pink or whatever I wanted, this product was just what I was looking for!!!Super Fast Shipping!!! Item was well kept safely packaged.

Pros:Great Sound You can Customize! Cool Colors! Easy Installation!!!

Cons:@ night colors sometimes are to bright, even with the dimmer on...suggest red would be the best @ night Other then that...there is none!

'98 Silverado, very pleased.

This is my first truck, and I needed a new stereo (and am now redoing all the speakers). That being said, I found it fairly simple to put in with a little guidance from my step-father, and the diagram it comes with explains all the wires and what goes to what. I love that I can chang the colors and show off, it sounds great, and the only problem I have is every now and then, I have a small problem navigating the menus. The only thing I miss on my stock stereo is the speed controlled volume, but not so much.

Great Headunit!

I was looking for a headunit that had built-in high pass and low pass filters. Never used Pioneer before, but I am extremely pleased with the product. It sounds great, and the filters allow my speakers to play the frequencies they were meant to play, resulting in much cleaner sound! Definitely recommend it.

AMAZING!!! BILLION STARS!

~Makes my subs hit harder than my previous pioneer deck and this was a third of the price! ~Produces excellent sound quality for a radio in this price range ~Visual effects are awesome, crazy, entertaining! (mixtrax does not work with burned cd's, I use a flashdrive with all my music) ~Once again Value! ~Easy to install, I am a girl and I had no problems! ;)

Pioneer DEH-X3500UI

I installed this stereo 2 days ago and I just LOVE this product. This is the best product I've ever had for my cars. Great sound, cool looking and easy to operate with many features. It just works perfectly with my iPhone5 and iPod with power cables. You don't need any additional cable such as Aux, audio-to-audio cable. MP3 player works excellently. As soon as I installed it, I drove 320 miles for travel and I tested out all the features it provides. I like to give 7-Stars to this product.

Amazing value

This stereo is one of the best features of my current sound system, it delivers great sound and reception, and It allows me to control my subwoofers in ways that I previously thought were impossible through a stereo.

Pros:Great sound and plenty of bang for your buck. The light show is pretty awesome as well.

Great Stereo

Great stereo. great sound. Mainly bought it for iPod and iPhone support and the USB connection works perfectly. Love the fact that you can control the devices from the device or the deck without changing settings. My only issue is the amount of menus you have to go through to change subwoofer settings and other audio settings. Mix Trax is very cool feature. Can't beat this stereo for the price.

Pros:Full iPhone 5 support
Can control iPod or iPhone from device or deck.
MixTrax is very cool
Remote comes with it.

Cons:Should have an easier way to get to the subwoofer controls. When you have a sub almost every song needs to have bass adjusted. Had to install an RCA inline control knob to adjust bass on the fly.

Great stereo just connected it today and blew my mind away one of the best stereos ive owned put in some pioneer speakers in front 3 way and kicker cvr subs sound nice on my honda crx with a custom woofer box this is a must buy stereo everything about it sounds nice.

LOTS OF FUNCTIONS AND EASY TO USE

I did a lot of researching for a cd deck that was around $100.00. I have had great luck with pioneer in the past so this brand was my top choice. This deck has alot of features that you will really use and the color customization is endless. What I like the most is that you can play pandora thru it. all you have to do is plug your phone in and it will automatic hookup and start playing the last station you were on. I did not have to install or download any software to make this work. I would definitely recommend this cd deck to anyone

Pioneer DEH-X3500UI

Its a Budget radio but you get alot for your money. built in cross over, even with only two pre outs, one set can be used for a sub. flexible inputs. remote, simple easy to use interface. decent customization over your audio. very great radio and good build quality. if your more into sound over glitz, and on a tight budget, this is the radio for you,

Pros:Great flexibilty between USB, aux input, cd and radio
Great Price
Built in crossover
remote

Best bang for the buck

After installing this in my car it was a night and day difference over the stock headunit, I have a Rockford Fosgate P3 15" sub hooked up to this unit and one of the options i liked about this radio is the high pass filter you can adjust for your door speakers which is great when you dont need low end bass distorting your mids and highs, another thing i liked about it is the "Mix" button which turns your car into a club on wheels. I've owned alot of aftermarket radios in my life and this one has got to be my favorate!

I bought this for a 02 Mit. Lancer to replace the stock radio, mainly so I could have the USB ipod support. The sound quality is exceptional as compared to the stock unit, especially if you enable the "Loudness" feature. Now I'm afraid to crank it too loud as I may blow out the stock speakers. The only negatives that I have found to be with this unit are the menus (i.e. to find/switch music via USB, etc.) are kind of tricky to navigate, especially when your driving, and the "RDS" feature constantly displays "NO TEXT" between intervals of broadcast text.

I dig it

Great player. Some functions are a bit clunky. However I jumped right in and figured most out immediately. This is my first time just upgrading the cd player without component speakers, that being said, they still sound great. I got this mainly for the 5 band EQ

Excellent Stereo

I bought this for my 24yr old daughter, the one in her Hyundai crapped out, she just flipped over the all the colors and the easy setup. I for one found it alittle confusing, but what do I know, I still remember using eight tracks. The installation wasn't too bad, the instructions were easy to follow and the wiring harness was a snap to make, replaced it within an hour. She is very happy with it and thats all that matters.

Pros:Great sounds and ambiance, easy install instructions and setup and give this Pioneer DEH-X3500UI and AAAAA+

Cons:The only Con I have is for the vehicle I had to put it in, you can't have a 6'4" guy in a tiny Hyundai Accent.

Great buy

For the price you can bet it. I installed the head unit yesterday fast and real easy. Love the colors on it can't wait to try the Mixtrax. This just might be one of the best head units i have ever used.
